Spider Orchids are notable for their characteristic long and spreading tepals, which lend them the common name 'Spider Orchid'. The reason why Brassia Orchids look like spiders is that they attract female spider wasps for pollination. Spider Orchids have large elliptic-oblong pseudobulbs with one or two leaves, a lateral unbranched numerously-flowered long-lasting flower-spike. The Genus name 'Brassia' came from William Brass, a British botanist and illustrator who collected plants in Africa under the supervision of Sir Joseph Banks, an English naturalist, botanist and patron of natural sciences.

The genus name is abbreviated as Brs in horticultural journals. Brassia Orchids grow best when hanging or mounted on a vertical surface to allow the roots free air circulation. The flowers in Brassia Orchids can be spotted yellow, cream, brownish or green. Brassia Orchids (Spider Orchids) are native to the rain forests of Mexico, Central America, West Indies and northern South America where they grow as epiphytes on tree canopies. Brassia Orchids (Spider Orchids) thrives in bright, indirect light away from direct sunshine, warm and humid conditions and moderately moist, fertile, loose soil coupled with regular feeding during the growing season. Spider Orchids need regular pruning to keep them neat and discourage pest and disease infestation. Repotting is need when growth begins to suffer or the medium becomes completely broken down. Keep reading for more on these growing conditions and how to achieve them. Spider Orchid grows best in bright, indirect light. Keep it away from direct sunshine to avoid sun scorch on the leaves.

Regularly rotate the pot to ensure that the orchid receives adequate light on all sides for even growth. A Brassia Orchid that is receiving the correct light has light-green leaves. Too little light will result in dark-green leaves while too much light will cause the leaves to be more yellowish than green. Spider Orchid can also be grown under a grow light where the natural lighting is not adequate.

Water Brassia Orchid thoroughly during the growing season and allow the top half of the soil to dry out between waterings. Decrease watering during the cold season as growth is minimal at this time but do not let the soil dry out completely. Use tepid, chlorine-free water as the orchids are sensitive to chlorine and other chemicals dissolved in water. Avoid wetting the foliage as it can lead to fungal diseases. Spider Orchids are more tolerant of dry soil conditions due to the presence of pseudobulbs and their thick leaves therefore, avoid overwatering. Make sure that there is good air circulation as the orchid cannot tolerate hot and stuffy conditions. Keep Brassia Orchid away from draughts to avoid sudden changes in temperature as they can cause reduced growth.

Pruning Brassia Orchid is easy. Remove dead and diseased leaves to keep the orchid neat as well as minimize pest and disease infestations. When flowering is over, cut the flower stalk 1 in. above the 3rd node from the bottom to encourage more flower production. Gently split the Brassia Orchid rhizome into sections while ensuring there are at least 3 shoots on each section.

Seperate the roots attached to each division from the mother root-ball. Remove the old potting soil attached to the section roots and place each section in the center of the pot. Bury the roots of the section in the soil while ensuring that the bottom of the pseudobulb is level with the top of the soil.
